The club offers caving and canyoning, two outdoor sports practised in specific environments. Caving involves exploring underground cavities by traversing rugged galleries, climbing, descending and ascending shafts, and crossing narrow passages. Canyoning, on the other hand, involves descending rivers over obstacles such as waterfalls, basins and sub-vertical sections. These activities require physical effort and safe progression techniques. The club offers outings and training courses, and prices include insurance, federal license and management fees.

This promenade owes its name to its first five kilometres, along the aqueduct of the Old Church between the pond of the Tower and that of the Perray.

Arrive at the pond of Perray-en-Yvelines, bend it and pass under the railway line; you will reach the city centre in a few shots, before you hire yourself, at the height of the Cross Saint-Jacques, left on the bicycle path. It will bring you back to good harbour through the forest.
